TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF
THE BAR OF COLUMBIA COUNTY:

Charles B. Jackson, Esq.
On Thursday alternoon.October 25,
1900 Mr. Jackson passed from this
life to the life beyond the grave. He
was born at Berwick June 7th, 1836
and resided there continuously until
the date of his death. He was edu
cated in Berwick public schools and
the Dickinson Seminary of Williams
port, Pennsylvania.
-
During early manhood he became
engaged in the mercantile business,
which he followed until his admission
to the Bar in 1875 from which time
he devoted his entire attention to the
practice of the law. The influence of
constant association with his fatner,
the late M. E. Jackson, who was one
of the foremost lawyers of this county
enabled him to early grasp the funda
mental principles of the law. He was
an able and a successful lawyer.

number of years Solicitor of the Bor-

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG,
WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. 26, 1900.
When old Zach Chandler made
Hayes a possibility by claiming his
election after the returns showed
Ti Men's election, he established a
precedent that has been slavishly
followed by the republican mana
gers of every national campaign
since. The republicans have al
ready re-elected McKiuley, accord
ing to their claims, and the voting
ten days hence will be a mere for
mality. Theobject of this bluff and
bluster is so plain that he who runs
may read it. Once get that large
portion ot the public which takes
no personal part in politics other
tnan to vote to accept the idea that
McKinley's election is assured, and
the way will be paved to work
Hanna's plans to secure the election
by the corrupt use of money and
any otner crooned way that pre
sents itsell, and those who know
little or nothing about the nianimi
lation of political machinery will be
more apt to accept the result so ob
tained because it had been so con
fidently claimed before election.
i "IIe lig best who laughs last
JMCKinley, and that they do not
deem it good policy to do. It is
the "silent vote" which thev are
depending upon to elect Bryan and
Stevenson, and to locate that vote
lor tne republicans would be to
make trouble for the voters and to
lose much of it. Tust let everv
democrat keep his shoulder to the
wheel and remember that Novem
ber 6, is the day on which the Pres
ident will be elected.
The slobbering the word isn't
elegant, but it is exactly expressive
in this case of the men who first
the Hanna-KcKinlev crowd. Some
think that Mr. Sherman died from1
a broken heart, but there is no evi
dence that his heart was the kind
that breaks. That he had been a
soured and disgusted man ever since
his failure to capture the Presiden
tial nomination of his party every
body knows, as he advertised the
fact in his book of recollections; but
as he always was glacial and un
genial it is not likely that disap
pointment shortened his life. He
was seventy-eight and he had been
a hard worker. That is enough to
account for a death from natural
causes.
Bank Examiners that can detect
fraudulent manipulation of bauk
books by crooked employes is a
needed reform which has been em
phasized by the news of a $700,000
defalcation of an employee of the
First National Bank of New York
City, Secretary Gage was inclined
to treat the matter rather lightly,
when asked why the bank exami
ners employed at high salaries by
his department had not discovered
the big defalcation in their exami
nations of the bank's books. He
said, nonchalently, as though it
were a matter of no consequence :
' Our examiners cannot be expect
ed to discover an old defalcation
when the bank officers themselves
have not found or suspected it.
The First National Bank can stand
it easily, with a surplus of $6,000,
000." These few words, of Secre
tary Gage are a strong indictment
of the national bank system, as it is
now run. If the bank examiners
"cannot be expected" to find crook
edness uutil it i'i pointed out to
them by the bank officers, pi ay,
how do they earn their salaries ? If
the people elect Mr. Iiryati Presi-

Treasury who will expect more of !
the bank examiners, and will see j
to it that they are men with kr.owl-1
edge and skiil enough to meet his '
expectations. This! particular bank j
has been such a pet of republican
Secretaries of the Treasury, since
1877, when it'jumped into promi
nence as one of the most successful
New York' banks, through favors
given it by the Treasury Depart
ment, that the bank examiners may
have been afraid to look too closely
into its books.
The government service is in j
crippled condition in al the depart
ments and is likely to remain so un
til after the election, owing to the
absence of nearly all of the respon
sible officials, who are in the field
doing political work of some kind,
or putting up a bluff that they are,
while their salaries are going right
along. A man filling a scientific
position in the Department of Agri
culture thus voiced his disgust
I his is our busy time, ana we
need our full force. The service is
being neglected by the very men,
and by their orders, who prate
about 'giving the people a business

REFORMS IN COUNTY LAWS.
Changes Recommended by Commissioner!
in Convention.
The annual ' state convention of
the County Commissioners of Penn
sylvania adjourned at Allentowti to
meet next year at Bellefonte. Be
sides listening to many papers, ad
dresses and discussions, the con
vention adopted resolutions recom
mending that the fee system lor
county officials be abolished ; that
the laws may be so amended that
the counties may retain their por
tion of the state tax without first
sending it to the state treasury ;
that a law be passed making it a
felony for a public officer to demand
or receive more lees than the law
allows ; that the law be amended
so that ior trivial cases returned to
court the costs may be put on the
magistrate ; that the law requiring
the counties to pay the costs in dis
charged cases be repealed ; that the
school boards be compelled to pay
for the registration of school chil
dren ; that the law in regard to
fees for executing affidavits to re
turns of births or deaths be re
pealed ; that a law be passed mak
ing county tax a lien on real estate;
that a description of all real estate
purchased be filed in the County
Commissioners' office ; that the.
fees of stenographers be made part
of the costs in all cases, instead of
being paid by the counties, and the
law making constables fire wardens
and appointing fire detectives, be
repealed.
The decision of the Luzerne
County Commissioners to build the
new court house on the site now
occupied by the old on; does not
appear to meet with popular favor.
Had the matter been submitted to a
vote ot the people the present build
ing would be torn down, the square
converted into a public park, and
the new building erected on River
street. This would also add to the
beauty of the city. Commissioners
are paid to do the will of the peo
ple, but they don't always do it.

celebrated French magician, Robert
Houdvn. It is entitled the "One-
man Band," and is unexcelled as a j
mysterious subject. 1 he beginning ot
the picture shows the magician in the
foreground and after bowing to the
audience he immediately proceeds to
cause a number of chairs to mysteri
ously appear on the stage. He sits
down on one of them and as he rises
the audience is amazed at the fact
that he leaves an exact counterpart of
himself sitting in the chair. The same
phenomenal result is attained as the
magician rapidly seats himself in the
various chairs, and every chair is soon
occupied by an animated counterpart
of the magician himself. Each of
of these individuals is seen to have a
musical instrument and at a signal
from the leader they proceed to render
a selection, after which they mysteri
ously disappear. It is unexplainablc.
Don't fail ta see it. Admission 25 and

Not That Kind of a Woman-
A woman was taken before an
Easton magistrate and asked her age.
She said twenty-eight. The judge
looked up and said : "Madam, you
were before me ten years ago, and
you gave the same age." Said the
woman : "I do not doubt it. I am
not a woman that will say one thing
to-day and another thing to-morrow.''
